La Bella Vista was my dream venue. Todd was our venue coordinator and he was awesome the past 2 years. They handled everything that was thrown our way on our wedding day whether it was rain or vendors cancelling. If I could I would do it all over again at LBV! Trisha was our Matre D and she was PHENOMENAL!!! She was by my side throughout my day since I arrived at the doorstep. The food, the staff, the atmosphere, was 10/10.

Charlie and I had a WONDERFUL experience working with Ashley and Mary at LBV for our wedding. Not only was the preparation easy, they had wonderful recommendations for vendors who thoroughly enjoyed working with them! The day was a BREEZE (which is a lot for a Bride to say) because they know exactly what they’re doing and how to make your vision come to life. Our guests loved the food and still talk about how good the food was months after our September wedding! I would highly recommend LBV!

Working with the La Bella Vista team was an absolute pleasure during every step of our wedding! Andrew is so friendly and patient and we loved working with him! La Bella Vista does an amazing job of walking you through the wedding planning process to help make sure you’re staying on track each step of the way. Andrew provided several vendor recommendations as well. We ended up working with some of the suggested vendors and all of them were AMAZING. On our wedding day, the entire Bella Vista staff was incredible. Tricia in particular from a bride’s perspective was an absolute dream to work with. There aren’t words big enough to thank her for how comfortable she made us feel. From the moment we arrived at the venue to the moment we packed up, everything was executed to perfection. The food is top-notch, the grounds and interior décor are stunning, and the execution was absolute perfection. If you’re unsure about your wedding venue, please trust us – you will be so happy with La Bella Vista!!

Our Wedding was held at La Bella Vista in Waterbury, CT on October 19th 2024. La Bella Vista literally brought my fairy tale to life. It was better than I could have ever imagined. Todd was there for us every step of the way. His professionalism and experience at coordinating every detail of our day, especially focusing on us and our wants and needs, gave me every confidence that I didn’t have to worry that nothing would be left to chance. He went above and beyond to accommodate myself and 2 bridesmaids who use power wheelchairs. He created my own personal bridal suite on the first floor and made sure that the restroom was privately available when needed. Trish was our personal maître D. She was efficient, compassionate and attentive to our needs. When I got upset because I thought we were running behind, she was there to reassure me that everything was fine.
The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous. The outdoor ceremony space was set up beautifully and although it can accommodate a lot of people, it still had an intimate feel. The grounds of Bella Vista are breathtaking with the colors of fall. The entryway and bar area are decorated perfectly for each season and is also perfect for indoor photos as well. The main ballroom is expansive and can accommodate large parties comfortably. It is elegantly decorated with your choice of linens and uplighting.
The service staff were efficient and friendly. The food was 1st class. Everything from the hors d’oeuvres to dessert was phenomenal! We had so many compliments on the venue and the food, both during the wedding and for weeks after.
For anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue, look no further!

My husband and I were married at LBV in October and in one word, it was phenomenal!! I have many friends and family who are still raving about the delicious and plentiful food, the Venetian table, and the overall beauty of the venue. They tell me it was the best wedding they've ever been to! Todd was amazing every step of the way, from booking to wedding day. I sent him emails with questions day and night and he always responded quickly! His attention to detail is truly remarkable. He will ensure your day goes exactly how you want it to! Trish is so funny and so sweet. She was by my side all night, lifting my train so I could walk easily, making sure I had a drink in my hand (they give you complimentary Mr. and Mrs. reusable cups!), and taking care of anything else I needed. She also set up the decor beautifully! We were so impressed by the kindness, professionalism, and efficiency of the entire LBV staff. There were a few unforeseen hiccups throughout the day, however, Todd and Trish made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible! I strongly suggest booking with LBV for your wedding, you will be blown away!
A HUGE thank you from the bottom of our hearts to Todd, Trish, and the entire LBV team for making our wedding day special! - Cassie & Matt

La Bella Vista: A Dream Wedding Venue
From the moment we first toured La Bella Vista, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding reception. The venue itself is simply stunning, with the elegant ballroom, picturesque outdoor spaces, and a breathtaking overall ambiance. However, what truly elevated our experience beyond expectation was the exceptional service and exquisite cuisine.
Throughout the entire planning process, Todd's communication was impeccable. He was responsive, attentive, and incredibly helpful, ensuring every question was answered and every detail was executed. His expertise and guidance were invaluable in creating a seamless and stress-free wedding planning journey.
On the day of our wedding, the La Bella Vista team exceeded every expectation. Tricia continually went above and beyond to ensure the day was stress free for my bride and I. The staff attended to our guests' needs with grace and efficiency. And the food? Unmatched. Every dish and appetizer was prepared to perfection, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and an artistry that delighted the palate. Our guests raved about the meal, and we continue to receive compliments on the exquisite dining experience La Bella Vista provided. Thank you all!

We recently had our wedding at La Bella Vista this September and us as well as our guests were blown away. The food and presentation was the most impressive of any wedding that we have been to. Working with Andrew Razz and Trish was an absolute pleasure. They truly went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that my Husband and I had everything that we needed for our special day. Our wedding is one that everyone is still talking about two and a half months later and it is all thanks to the staff at La Bella Vista.

My wedding at La Bella Vista was truly a dream come true! My husband and I had the best time and we are truly thankful for the staff at LBV for making it all happen. From the start of wedding planning, Todd was exceptional to work with, very detailed and straight forward. It's been 2 months since our wedding and we still have friends and family telling us how amazing the food was. Cocktail hour, dinner and the desserts exceeded our expectations. Thank you all so much for helping us have the best wedding day! - xo Kelly & Danny

Trish and Todd made our experience from wedding planning to wedding day absolutely magical!
Todd helped us plan our wedding with attention to detail and organization. And Trish and her team treated me like a princess from making sure my husband didn’t see me before the ceremony to carrying my train for me every time I had to walk anywhere.
I didn’t have to think about a thing or lift a finger on my wedding day. The team had it all coordinated and guided everyone to stick to the schedule and make the day go smoother than we ever even expected.
Aside from the exceptional service, the venue is absolutely gorgeous, the food is like a piece of art, and the pricing was very reasonable for how much you get out of their packages.
I would highly, highly recommend La Bella Vista to anyone getting married!!!

No need to look any further. Andrew and his team are PHENOMENAL! Our wedding was one week ago and people are still calling us to say what an amazing wedding. “Best food at a wedding ever.” “Best wedding we ever went to.” Mary was our sales event planner and she went above and beyond for us. We love her!! Tricia was our maitre de on the day of and she followed us with umbrellas and held them over our heads so we can get outside pictures. So sweet. So professional. The servers and bartenders were great! Everything came out timely. Food was AMAZING. The whole experience was the best. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives and we owe it all to La Bella Vista! The venue is breathtaking. I could go on and on. 10/10 recommend! I keep asking my husband if we could do it again 😂

Just do it. We looked at a wide variety of local wedding venues. Crossed off wedding factories, crossed off venues with no outdoor options, crossed off dark, dingy, run down venues… went to see La Bella Vista and it was a done deal. We had the pleasure of working with Andrew through the planning process. He was very responsive to all questions and extremely accommodating. This place honestly can’t make wedding planning any easier for you. And Tricia, the maitre d… unbeatable. We didn’t need for ANYTHING all night. Everything went beyond smooth, she was always right there going way above and beyond. Food was so amazing that people are still raving about it. We recommend LBV for ANY event.

We recently celebrated our wedding at La Bella Vista, and I can wholeheartedly say that it was a dream come true! Andrew and his team were exceptional throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day. From our first meeting, Andrew was attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. He took the time to understand our preferences and seamlessly incorporated them into every detail of the event. His expertise and calm demeanor ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy every moment without worry.
Our ceremony took place in their picturesque outside courtyard, surrounded by flowers and gentle sound of the nearby fountains. Our reception in the ballroom was equally impressive with elegant décor, ambient lighting, and beautiful table settings that created a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. The layout was perfect for mingling, dining and dancing making the evening feel both intimate and lively.
The food was nothing short of spectacular. It was incredibly important for us to pick a venue that placed important on the quality, and the quantity, of food being served to our guests and La Bella Vista absolutely knocked it out of the park. We’ve been married for over a month now, and we are still receiving compliments from our guests about the food during cocktail hour and throughout their dining experience at our wedding. If anyone is on the fence about choosing the Venetian Table for dessert, we honestly cannot recommend it enough.
Our wedding at La Bella Vista was nothing short of perfect. Andrew and his team turned our dream into a reality, and we are forever grateful for their hard work and dedication. We have received countless compliments from our guests, and we cannot recommend this venue highly enough. Thank you, La Bella Vista, and a special thank you to Andrew and his incredible team for making our wedding day the most memorable day of our lives so far!

We recently celebrated our wedding at La Bella Vista, and everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself was stunning, with beautiful decor and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made our special day even more memorable. The staff was incredibly professional and attentive, ensuring that every detail was taken care of seamlessly.
A special mention must go to Andrew, who was truly fantastic. His dedication, organization, and friendly demeanor made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. On the day of the wedding, he and our day of lady were always on hand to assist and made sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator.
We highly recommend La Bella Vista to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-managed venue for their wedding. Thank you for making our day so wonderful!

La Bella Vista made my wedding day absolutely perfect. Todd was super helpful from the second we walked in the door to tour. They were so so on top of everything. Our maitre d’ Trish was also incredible on the day of, making sure everything went smoothly and that we had what we needed at all times.
The venue space was perfect, the patio is beautiful for the ceremony. We did our first look at the gazebo and then did photos on the lawn, they all came out so amazing.
The food was also amazing. So many of our guests are still raving about the food 6 weeks later. The package we chose also included so many options. Everything I tried was incredible. Our guests thought that cocktail hour was all of the food and were surprised that there was still a plated meal. We went with the 5 dessert stations which was so worth it. The way it was set up was amazing and everyone was blown away.
I would recommend La Bella Vista to anyone and everyone!! I don’t think we could have possibly had a better experience.

Everyone at La Bella Vista, from Todd to Mary to Tricia, is by far the best. Todd is so quick to answer any questions at any time of day all days of the week. Tricia was constantly around my husband and I all day and night ensuring we had our drinks and if we needed anything. Our family and friends had the best time and we haven’t stopped hearing about how great the food was. La Bella Vista made my wedding the most beautiful and picture perfect moment that I had always dreamed of. I will always recommend them and wish I can redo my wedding just to have them all over again! And I don’t want to forget they looked at the weather up until 10 minutes before to ensure I can have my ceremony outside!!!

When I tell you that La Bella Vista was my favorite vendor that my fiance and I booked for our wedding, I'm not lying! La Bella Vista was an absolute dream of a venue. When my fiance and I visited for a tour, there was no other contest. It is an absolutely gorgeous place to get married and the staff is very professional and eager to work with you to help make your vision come to life. Our guests could not stop raving about how amazing the food and drinks tasted. Our wedding had a guest count of around 150 people and we were at first a little nervous about booking just half of the grand ballroom, but it was not a hindrance at all. There was plenty of space for our guests to eat comfortably at their tables and have lots of space on the dance floor, too. Todd and the staff kindly look out for you to make sure you are eating and drinking water and feeling happy and comfortable. I could not recommend La Bella Vista more as your wedding venue! Absolutely spectacular!

La Bella Vista absolutely blew me away with how well they executed my wedding day. Andrew & Todd were so helpful with the planning process. They guided me in food choices, table arrangements, and timing of things, all which made the day go so smooth. From the moment we arrived at the venue, Tricia made sure our plates had food and drinks were full. She completely took over any and all things for me on during the reception. I could not have gotten through this day without them! The food was absolutely amazing and the Venetian table literally took my breath away. I am forever grateful to Andrew, Todd, Tricia and the rest of the LBV staff for making my wedding day so incredible. 10000/10 recommend!

We had 14 passed h’ordeurves, a pasta station, entrees, an 5 dessert bars along with the cake. The result exceeded our greatest expectations.

My husband and I got married at La Bella Vista 12/3/2022 and all I can say is it was amazing. The minute we stepped into the venue, we fell in love with the beautiful chandeliers and ballroom, I literally felt like a princess just walking in. Andrew and Linnea took care of us and they were very professional in giving us information about the venue and the packages available. The pricing was all given up front WITH tax, so there were no unexpected fees later down the line. As the planning went on, Andrew was extremely helpful and organized in guiding us through the process, giving us checkpoints throughout the year to make sure we had everything ready by the time the wedding came around. On top of all of that, the actual wedding day was absolutely wonderful. Tricia stayed with me (the bride) starting the moment I arrived at the venue and helped us with everything we needed (and I mean everything!). She was so attentive and helpful throughout the whole evening. Everything at the venue was set up as we had previously discussed and I really did not have to worry about anything else but myself. The food was amazing, every single guest we spoke with after the wedding kept telling us how amazing the food was and how it was the best wedding food they had ever had! Overall, La Bella Vista allowed us to have the most magical wedding and we are so grateful!

Wow! Where do we begin, La Bella Vista is hands down the BEST wedding venue. The second we toured the venue we knew this was OUR spot! Leading up to our wedding, Todd was professional, reliable, flexible, caring, and personable. He is FANTASTIC! Also, on the day of our wedding, Tricia was absolutely AMAZING. She did not leave our side and made sure we were completely taken care of. Our wedding day was amazing and beyond what we could have ever imagined and it was thanks to the amazing staff at La Bella Vista. Our guests are still raving about the service, FOOD, venetian table, and beautiful venue. Thank you La Bella Vista for making our dream wedding on 10.01.2022 come true.

La Bella Vista is an absolute gem! Todd’s professionalism and outgoing personality made our experience amazing from the start. We had zero stress and the process was very smooth. Not only is the venue beautiful, the food is absolutely the best! 2 months after our wedding, our guests are still commenting about how great the food was, from the appetizers to the desserts. We also had a wonderful experience with the service. Trish is specially awesome and so kind. She helped throughout our whole wedding day and made me feel at home, even offering to give me something for a headache. The rest of the staff are very professional, friendly and courteous. I would highly recommend La Bella Vista to any other couple out there looking for their dream wedding. You won’t regret it! Thank you, Todd, Trish and the rest of the staff!

I am so sad it's over, but I would choose LBV over and over again. I am in awe of how many people left the party happy and were boasting with positive things to say about the venue!

If you are looking for a wedding venue this is the place! I had my daughter’s wedding ceremony and reception on Saturday 9/24/22. I have been in the hospitality, restaurant and service industry for over 40+ years and have never worked at an event that was executed so smoothly. The Event Coordinator, Todd was very easy to work with from the initial meeting with him until the day of the wedding. Every detail was executed perfectly. The property is beautiful. The staff courteous and professional. The Maitre’d Trish was on top of every detail and was with the B&G from before the ceremony until the end of the night. The food presentation of the passed hors d’oeuvres and stations for the cocktail hour as well as dinner selections was top notch and delicious. The dessert stations were over the top! I am still receiving compliments from my guests. They were blown away! I will definitely recommend LBV to anyone I know who is getting married!

My husband and I had our wedding at La Bella Vista at the end of June, and we could not have had a more perfect event, in no small thanks to La Bella Vista's staff and venue. We worked with Todd over the year leading up to the wedding, and he was so attentive and thorough through every step of the process. We planned the wedding long distance and he accommodated our limited ability to meet in person. He gave us detailed documents to organize the information he needed to execute the event, and thought of every detail ahead of time. We were in great hands!
We were also in great hands on the day of the wedding. Trish, the day-of coordinator, was present to anticipate our every need. She made sure to keep us hydrated on a hot day and made sure we ate after the ceremony. We didn't have to think of logistics at all - everything ran so smoothly and we got to just enjoy our wedding. That was priceless!
And every single staff member at the wedding was so friendly and welcoming and made everyone feel taken care of and at ease. My mother uses a wheelchair and everyone made sure she could get around as easily as possible. The staff was so attentive and considerate and it made such a difference.
Our guests could not stop raving about how much they loved the venue - everyone thought the space was beautiful (and we did not even bring in outside decor). And the food! Our meals alone were delicious, but we of course couldn't try everything. But multiple guests independently told us how much they enjoyed the food - from cocktail hour to salad, pasta, and entrees. Our guests were just as delighted with La Bella Vista as we were.
I also must note that for the quality of food and drinks, the venue, and the service we received, the pricing was more than fair, and I very much appreciated how transparent pricing was from the very beginning. We got our money's worth and beyond!
We recommend La Bella Vista wholeheartedly and could not be more delighted by every aspect of our wedding there.

I cannot say enough how wonderful La Bella Vista was for our wedding. La Bella Vista offers THE BEST food and the best customer service. Every step of the way in our wedding planning we felt supported and taken care of. Todd is so easy to work with and put all of our worries at ease. Trish orchestrated our day of event seamlessly. We felt like we could just sit back and enjoy while they handled the details. My fiancée's family are members of the Ponty club so we knew the food would be good but the staff was equally as amazing. I would recommend LBV to everyone!

La Bella Vista is the best! Right from the start of the process, Todd was amazing. Answered all of our questions within a day or two at most. Day of the wedding, didn’t even have to think or worry because Todd and the rest of the crew were ON IT. Food and drinks ready to go for us getting ready at the venue, helping bustle my dress after and on the dance floor, and just anything needed they were there. Food was the best wedding food I’ve ever had and people have been saying that to me since we got married. 10/10 recommend La Bella Vista!!! <3

We got married at LBV almost 3 weeks ago and guests are still raving about how beautiful everything was and about how fantastic the food was. If you leave a LBV wedding hungry, it’s on you! Todd has a great sense of humor, an amazing shoe collection, and is very easy to work with. Patricia was our Maitre-D the day of and made sure everything ran smoothly and on time. She even held my veil during pictures! Cannot recommend them enough!

My now husband and I looked at 15 venues before we decided to tour La Bella Vista. I said to my husband LBV is going to be the last venue we look at and that is it we are picking our venue. From the initial contact with Linnea (who is retired now) to set up our tour to after our wedding day, we have nothing but GREAT things to say about LBV and the staff. We walked into the venue and as soon as I saw the foyer, I already knew this was going to be our venue. I got that feeling brides get when they just know this is the one. I looked at my now husband and said I don't need to see anything else I know this is where we are getting married. We met with Linnea, toured the venue and that feeling still stayed with me. We saw the bridal suite, the ballrooms, the bathrooms, the grounds where pictures would be taken and everything was PERFECT. We left our meeting with a hold date, that evening I emailed Linnea with a confirmed we are booking for 6/24/22. Linnea retired but she put us in great hands with her son Andrew who was our go to guy. Andrew was exceptional!! Always made sure to answer any questions we had, went above and beyond to ensure we would have the best day (which we did and more). Day of wedding Andrew was very attentive to us, making sure everything was going smoothly/ if we were okay. Our Maître D was Tricia who was the BEST! Always made sure we had water, drinks, food, followed us around for pictures carrying my long train, made sure we ate, and so much more. All the staff at LBV were phenomenal and truly made our day much more special. Guests are still raving about our wedding 8 days later about the food, drinks, service, EVERYTHING! I wish I can relive the day for how amazing the staff treated us and made it the best day of our life. You will not be disappointed by booking your wedding at LBV. FOOD IS A 10/10 if I could rate 20/10 they deserve it. Thank you to Andrew, Tricia and all the staff that made our 6/24/22 wedding truly magical. Will be hosting all my future showers, parties at LBV.

Words can not begin to express how amazing the whole entire staff made our special day. We got married on June 12th and everything was absolutely perfect. The first interaction I had with Todd I knew this would be the place for us. He responded back so quickly and was able to answer any questions I had. We set up a time to see the place and as soon as we saw it we knew that would be the place. Todd continued to play a role for the many months leading up to the wedding any question I had no matter how big or small I would email him and he would always get back to me so quickly. Now the day of the wedding I knew we would all be well taken care of. However I could never have imagined how well we would be taken care of. Trish was absolutely fantastic. She was never far away making sure me and the girls had everything we needed. If we needed anything at all she was right there. If someone needed something from the bridal suite she would go up and get it for us. We never had to even go to the bar because she always made sure our drinks were full. The food!? Out of this world. They had everything set up perfectly with the decor we wanted for the day. Absolutely picture perfect. Not a single guest had a complaint. Everyone thought the venue, staff, atmosphere, food, and drinks were amazing. If you are looking for the perfect day and don’t want to worry about the stress of everything 115% hands down choose la Bella vista. You will NOT be disappointed! I am still blown away with how great of a job they all did. You can tell they really take great pride in what they do.

We had our wedding there and everyone was very accommodating! We wanted to prank a guest and asked them to serve him spaghetti-o and they had no problem doing that everything was set up beautifully. I like to be in control but seeing how they had everything just eased my mind and I got to enjoy my day!

Where do we even begin? Our night was amazing ALL THANKS to the staff at La Bella Vista. Beautiful venue and EXEMPLARY food. Everything went perfect. Special shout out to Todd who helped us from the beginning of our wedding venue search to literally the end of our wedding night and to Trish, the most amazing maitre d, my husband and I did not even go UP to the bar once because of trish, she was there waiting for us with a drink in hand, never even needed to ask. Everyone went above and beyond. We had full confidence in the venue from the beginning but we’re still blown away with how everything turned out. Can’t say enough good things. Wedding was 3 weeks ago and people are still talking about the food. Thank you so much LBV!!!! Wish we could do it all over again.

We had our wedding at La Bella Vista this past June and we had nothing but the absolute best experience. Trish and Todd hit it out of the park. Whatever we wanted, they made it happen, no questions asked. We did not stress about anything on our day because the staff. And Trish made sure we got to experience all the food. Even if it meant feeding us in between pictures.
The food was out of this world. Still today, family continues to tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. If we did it again, we would 100% still go with La Bella Vista.
Thank you guys for an amazing day!

No questions asked, just book La Bella Vista RIGHT NOW !! I don’t even know where to start ! From the very beginning we worked with Todd and he was phenomenal. He answered every single question and answered every email, day or night in the blink of an eye. Every single staff member was caring and compassionate on my wedding day. Trish was like a superhero and my right hand girl. The venue is beyond beautiful, and has the most amazing food you will ever eat! Every guest of my wedding hasn’t stopped talking about how amazing my wedding was. The best decision was choosing La Bella Vista to host my wedding !! GO BOOK NOW!

My daughter got married on Friday, October 29th 2021. I can’t say enough about this venue! Everything was perfect! From the first time we met Todd, we new this had to be the place! The whole staff starting with Trish, was amazing! They left nothing undone! The cocktail hour, dinner and dessert ROOM, was the best food ever! There isn’t anything I would change! I highly recommend this venue!

La Bella Vista provided myself and my now husband the most incredible wedding experience we could have ever asked for. Everything was seamless, and when anything came up, they resolved it without issue. We had the most perfect wedding day with 0 issues. I cannot recommend this venue or it’s staff highly enough. My friends and family were in awe of the venue, the service, and the food. I had multiple guests tell me after the wedding that they want to book with La Bella Vista for their own life events! I also had multiple people tell me that they were asked how they wanted their meat cooked - if you have been to a venue that serves 100+ people, this is typically not something that can be done and I am blown away that they were able to do this to accommodate our 135+ guests. We fully intend to celebrate anniversaries with La Bella Vista in the future, and want to personally thank Todd, and Trish especially for the best experience that we could have ever asked for. Everything was done beyond my expectations and I was a very very happy bride! Thank you, Trish, for helping with my minor dress issue and making me feel so calm cool and collected when my anxiety had other plans - I will be forever grateful to you.
Thank you Todd, for helping ensure we were happy with everything we chose and for changing things as needed. You are a master at what you do!
Love, Mr. & Mrs. Buechele

I just wanted to thank Andy, Linnea and the staff again for everything! I am still getting calls and texts about the wedding and how amazing everything was, mostly complements on the food! I can not stress enough how wonderful Trisha was and how great she is at her job! From the moment I walked into La Bella Vista my stress melted away because of all of the efforts of the staff! The food was top notch and the staff was so professional and accommodating to everyone’s needs. I really can not thank the staff enough for making such a stressful time so wonderful, leaving me and my groom to enjoy our special day. Every request I made was taken care of and executed with flawless professionalism. With all of the craziness going on it in the world was so refreshing to be able to feel “normal” and comfortable at our wedding and all of our guests were able to experience that! Thank you times a million and keep up the excellent work! Highly recommend this venue and it definitely has the best food of any wedding my guests have ever been to!

Andrew and staff did everything in their power to make us feel special and as if we were the only wedding happening ever. Although they have done many weddings before Andrew, Trisha and Kimberly made me feel like she was the only bride in the world.
The Food at La Bella Vista is always phenomenal, so we really had no worries there. Whether it’s a wedding or a family gathering I was wanting to make sure our guests are fed. There was an abundance of food, desserts, and hospitality. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. They really made sure we had nothing to worry about. We were always fed, hydrated, and taken care of like royalty. And to be honest its exactly what I wanted for my wedding day.
The day and weekend after the wedding all our phones were blowing up saying that this was the best wedding everyone has ever gone to. And I can honestly say that is was all because of La Bella Vista making this the best day of our lives. Andrew and staff made everything so fluent and easy. Everything was no problem and there was never a moment of panic from either end.
We can’t thank La Bella Vista enough for the most beautiful, stress-free, impeccable, magical day.
Thank you, La Bella Vista, for making mine and of course my new husband Jeremy’s dreams come true. We couldn’t have done it without you.

We loved working with La Bella Vista for our wedding! We had to postpone and they made it very easy to move our date and answer all the questions we had. Linnea was super responsive and so easy to work with. Our wedding day was perfect and I didn't worry about a single thing from setting up to packing up at the end of the night thanks to our coordinator and the amazing staff!

La Bella Vista was our second and last stop when looking for venues. As soon as you walk inside the ambiance is exquisite. The gorgeous landscape of the property provided a variety of wonderful photo opportunities. The ballroom looks beautiful without any decor! Linnea was AMAZING! As we planned our special day, she was flexible, knowledge, personable and very professional! Her guidance and support allowed for our planning process to go smoothly. We felt extremely taken care of on the day of our wedding. Linnea, Trish and Katie were there every step of the way to ensure our day went as smoothly as possible. Trish did a fascinating job ensuring that we all were well taken care of throughout the entire event! Trish was hands on from the moment we arrived. She helped with getting dressed, made sure we were comfortable, she even showed up with water when we were thinking that we were thirsty because it was a hot day. It's like she read our minds!
Our family and friends are still talking about how much the LOVED the food! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to have our wedding!

From the first day we stepped into La Bella Vista, we knew this was the place we were going to get married. We met with Todd and he was always so reassuring, confident and thorough. Planning a wedding during a pandemic can be nerve wrecking, but Todd always knew what to say to calm us down! And we were so able we were able to have our absolute dream wedding at La Bella Vista on July 9th 2021! The morning rained non stop and with some tiny miracle, it cleared up by the afternoon and we were able to proceed with an outdoor ceremony!! Upon our arrival to the venue we were greeted by Trish and her team and they were so dedicated in making sure we had the best day ever! They always made sure we had a drink in hand, reminded us to drink water and prompted us to eat! We simply did not have to think! They made sure that we as the couple had the best night ever and we absolutely did! We had a 6 hour reception and it was the perfect length of time, we never felt rushed! The food at this place is unbelievable from the extensive cocktail hour to the large dinner plate, our guests enjoyed every last bite and so did we! Overall this was the best day ever and we will highly highly highly be recommending La Bella Vista to any and every one!!!

My husband and I could not have asked for a better venue. It was absolutely gorgeous. Linnea and the whole staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They truly went above and beyond for our wedding, and we’re so happy we had our wedding here. Not to mention the food was phenomenal and people are still talking about it and how good it was.

We were married in May 2021 and cannot stop reminiscing about our perfect wedding day. Everyone says it was the BEST wedding they have been to and have been raving about the food. Hands down the best food I’ve ever had.
La Bella Vista was the ONLY venue we looked at. We knew immediately they were unique and a hidden gem! They have fair prices and customize everything to your request. Todd was absolutely incredible to plan our wedding with because he was extremely thorough, accessible and very likable from the first time you meet. He emails back within a day at most, most times within the hour! Just the best! The venue is so easy to work with and full of kind people. They give you all the guidance you need to plan your special day. Throughout the whole process with Todd, he never once said no to a single request, he made everything happen.
Much thanks to Trisha as well, she was such a trouper the day of our wedding ensuring we, the bride and groom, had everything we wanted. Really enjoyed the entire process with La Bella Vista! Highly recommend this venue, you will not be disappointed! Everything was perfect with beautiful scenery to take lots of pictures and a team ready to master your big day!
